for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and by the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet of God, resound the summons: they who died christians shall rise first:

be thankful to God for every thing, for so christians are oblig'd to be.

for, my brethren, you have followed the example of the christian churches in Judea; by having suffer'd the same persecutions from your own nation, as the churches have suffer'd from the Jews,

for now I am reviv'd, since you continue stedfast in the christian profession.

I conjure you by the Lord, that this epistle may be read to all our christian brethren.
